The 90s artwork is not as good as the vintage artwork. No wonder why they went back to the older designs.
>>11773548I hate that big "retro" emblem covering the character photo. That's fucking annoying.
>>11773474>Is nostalgia accelerating or simply spreading out to include more eras now?I'd say the latter. The first lot of Vintage Original Trilogy Collection figures cashing in on the nostalgia for vintage cardbacks were in 2004, which was 26 years after the vintage line appeared. PotF2 came out in 1995, so it's been 30 years. It actually took them longer to nostalgia bait the PotF2 generation.20-30 years seems to be the ballpark for nostalgia bait. Neca's Kenner tribute Aliens figures were released 24 years after the originals.>>11773666It's a really dumb placement and completely destroys the look of the cards. They thought they were being clever having it looks like the mail way promo stickers, but instead of offering you a free figure, it insults your intelligence by insinuating that you wouldn't be able to tell that it's not a real vintage toy unless they told you.
>>11772082Clever stuff.
>>11773546They rely more on nostalgia because toys--that is, action figures--as an industry don't really matter. They haven't mattered since the 90s or early 00s.
>>11773809>simulated edge-wear.>massive annoying retro emblem covering card photo.>really thin cardback.>figure (including vintage reissues) in blister tray inside of the card.If the goal is to make it clear that it's not 45-year-old vintage, then pick ONE, Hasbro. We're not fucking stupid, and know it's not from 1978. There's no need to fuck up vintage-style packing on multiple levels like this.
Why is there such a huge demand for this?

>>11773722Thats something coming from the guy posting on /toy/ in a bionicle thread on 4chan.
>>11774197You got any interesting bricks to post? I got a lot of nu bright yellow plus maybe another brick in the og color recently, and wish somebody would give either a spraypaint or whatever aproximation or some resin remake of some of the newer colors/some of the interesting ones like royal blue or belville pink, that new blue violet and reddish orange would likely look really nice on cbbs, along with an approximation of the solid neon colors from the watches

Have you ever stopped to think about the morals of the hobby?I converted Catholicism a while ago and I've been slowly growing less fond of it; particularly after a priest told me that collecting toys wasn't a good thing to do (I had no clue how to confess so I just threw in whatever I thought was necessary to confess).I still love toys and it's one of the few things I don't resent about modernity/industrial society, but when I think that the money I spent on Beyblade could be used on buying food for the poor or just to gift them to children who love toys as much as I do but lack the funds, I can't help but feel guilty.I have a bunch of figures from various lines, and I know that, for example, I wouldn't be doing good by me nor a random kid, if I gifted them one of my import figures since they exist in a weird middle ground between display piece, fidget toy, and action figure. They are meant to be handled by adults or by very well-socialized kids, but you wouldn't bring them to the park to take them on adventures, throw them in the mud, leave on a bench, etc.I could start with my Transformers, but due to various reasons when I was picking up some speed in my purchases, a lot of them are limited releases or imports.I feel a bit at a loss, so I've stopped buying anything in a while. I plan to buy the upcoming Armada Jetfire, but I kind of have no enthusiasm about it anymore. It's just to complete my favorite set.
>>11770703Luther’s first battle was against his own church when he tried to stop the get out of hell free by buying indulgences scam the Catholics were running at the time. They were exploiting a ton of followers to build shit when they were already filthy rich. It’s no surprise the next money scamming group in his sights were the long noses.
>>11774180Indulgences don't have to do with hell but purgatory. Why are americans so ignorant about the religion?
>>11774186I’m not American faggot. Stick your scam up your taint.
>>11773617oh it's a girl. i assumed other
>>11774186Why are idolators constantly obsessed and seething about Americans?

>>11769193Damn, I wish I had a Salad Fingers, OP.

Serious question here.People use credit cards everywhere. eBay and other marketplaces, Shopify stores, standalone stores, etc. There are at least half a dozen reputable processors that let you securely pay an invoice via credit card.Why does everybody demand PayPal and apps like Venmo and CashApp? Do you not have cards? Are stuck in the 90s and afraid to use them on the interwebs? What's behind this?I'd like sell off some stuff at reasonable prices. But it seems like my options are to charge high prices to pay high eBay fees or charge high prices to cover high table fees at a comic con. I'd really just rather only pass along the 3% card fee (or not). Seriously, help me out here!
>>11772974>Used on eBay They remain in bed with each other even after the spin-off, so someone bitching about one and not the other is seeing shit with rose tints.
>>11772777>It's fucking baffling that people wouldn't take the easiest route with the widest acceptance, which is clearly standard credit cards.The "easiest route" for small-time randos online selling person-to-person is for them to continue using paypal as they have for years, if not decades.I don't even know why eBay is in the discussion here, since you can use credit cards there anyway. And if you absolutely, positively must use a credit card, just open a paypal and link your credit card to it. Its that simple.>Buh-buh-but I don't wanna open a paypal!Congratulations. You now know why some rando selling three Marvel Legends out of his mom's basement doesn't want to open credit card processing for one, or three or ten transactions in a year.Also, I am almost certain that to accept credit card payments/transactions, you are required to collect state tax from people, and that is something you have to do all the math for on your end. And every state has a different rate, so it is up to you to figure that out and then send it to the government. And no one wants to do that, or even have to worry about having to worry about that.If you want to use a credit card, link it to paypal, and if you don't want to use paypal, now you know why people don't want to deal with accepting credit cards.
>>11772800 Mercari thought it’d attract more business to be able to sell without fees, and lower priced listings would attract more buyers. Which of course would be true, if things were that simple. But lots of sellers didn’t even lower their prices accordingly. And even for the ones that did, there is sticker shock for the customer when you see something costs $100, and then to get to checkout and it’s $120. They don’t just eat it, they immediately go check eBay to double check to see it actually costs the same there. And fuck it, now that they’re on eBay and the price is the same, they might as well just buy it there.

Is there some reason these don't come up for discussion on the board?
>>11773258It hasn't been released and there haven't even been finalized pictures...
>>11773311Damn, I saw it was up on taobao so I figured it was already released by now
>>11773348probably a prototype - or nowadays, probably even AI like those fake marvel legends on ali epxress that aren't even articulating toys but sometimes are just plush shit

>>11773683god just whiting out his eyes makes him 10 times cooler already
>>11773748I would also file down their bulge-itude.. I get what they were going for, but I'm not into itThe other guy from this era that I'd really love to get as a wholly redesigned super7 would be King Lionheart. He's a fantastic idea, great colors, just really poor execution and a few mandatory stupid aspects like the mismatched limbs.
>>11773862I have this guy on card. He was like $20 15 years ago. I was definitely bummed he didn't get an Ultimate.
>>11773867let us just hope the mattel deal means they can again. and if not.. well, customs.. customs are fun to make.. I bet you could make one out of a neca Hudson and it'd look alright. In fact I'm tempted as fuck to try that.
>>11773886hmmm...no, the head proportions are wrong. I'd have to make abrand new head, and then there'd be no room with the narrow shoulders.. I've never customized a full figure before, if you cut open a figure's torso, split it in half at the top, is it usually... doable to pull two upper torso pieces apart and like, epoxy them into place, and have still-functional shoulders just wider? his beard would cover any neck-hole issues anyway.

Saw these at walmart. Soccer stuff I guess?
This is certainly a first one.The address i used 70 billion times so far doesn't work now even though i have a different package in the customs at this very moment? At least i got refunded.
>>11767375For under $13, the price is insanely low for what you get. Any idea what the shipping + tarrifs are on it?
>>11773451I think tariffs from most places is currently 15%. May be other bullshit fees if it comes by DHL or FedEx.
>>11773462>bullshit feesI hope you're not implying our glorious leader was wrong in any way. That seditious.
Didn't see one in the catalog.Fellow /toysoldiers/,Ive been having this logitech pebble 2 for two weeks now and it just feels so good I even pick it up just to hold it different like a smooth stone and spin and turn it or whatever. It's like the mouse captured that nice feel you otherwise only get from holding a controller.I saw fidget threads in the past so I know you guys don't only fiddle with figures, and I just wanted to let you guys know that this is a great thing beyond its function. I wasnt payed to write this I swear!Also what are you fiddling with at the moment when its not a figure? Yes this is still /toy/ related even.
>>11773490>Also what are you fiddling with at the moment when its not a figure?Samsung Galaxy S III. It has just the right smoothness, size and weight to it that it's cathartic to spin while holding vertically between the thumb and middle finger. Before that I used to have a generic fidget spinner until its bearings wore down.
It's that time once again! It's time for /toy/ to compete in the 2026 Spring Babby Cup. After a rough showing and string of unfortunate red cardings in Winter, /toy/ must once again claw their way out of the babby and back to the elites.Schedule>4/25/26 @ 4:20pm EST/toy/ vs /lgbt/>5/1/26 @ 2:20pm EST/m/ vs /toy/>5/3/26 @ 1:00pm EST/toy/ vs /mlp/Stream link herehttps://pastebin.com/AhgCjek3
WE DID IT, BROS! WE BEAT THE TRANSFAGS!
In a thrilling 5-4 slugfest, /toy/ comes out on top thanks to some /lgbt/ keeper spaghetti and Drossel of all players coming in clutch to score a last minute goal. A great way to start the cup. Hopefully our momentum continues as we face friend/rival /m/ next week.
>>11769636Turns out, it was the /g/ vs /cm/ match that was this
Bumping the thread before our second match tomorrow. Lovers of plastic robots clash on the pitch as /toy/ takes on their brothers from /m/.

>>11770733so apparently I was mistaken for the "OG MRD looking matte finish" because the MRDs are glossy looking. This appears to be a mix between the RD and the MRD having metal body frame and matte looking body parts, guess I was worried for nothing. Will still do matte though
>>11770485>>11770727The one they added to the Barbatos appears to be in scale.
>>11770923I'd be all over these if they didn't use die-cast.
At this rate, which Robot Damashii is more likely? Dynamic Classics Cutie Honey or Jenny Wakeman?
Stupid Over the top giga canon, but the Hi Nu with non-symmetrical Fin funnels is really sexy and I would want it just for that. Never going to happen, but whatever.
Have you guys seen these Chinese dolls? They're called The Monsters.
>>11772381Not only is it possible to rush out a 3d model, they sued Bambu Lab for allowing distribution of Labubu 3d models on their platform.
>>11772381Sony is making a movie based on them. So in typical Hollywood fashion they're going to be 2-3 years late on a trend and it'll make half of its budget back if they're lucky.
>>11770063>>11772381They pulled out intentionally too because they knew/predicted the fad was dead. Either out of integrity or just safety
>>11772377I remember saying the bubble was bursting last year and that these will be dead quicker than Beanie Babies were. All the Labubu fags argued.Fads driven by women rarely last.
>>11772381It got popular because of media exposure of some k-pop chick wearing one.If they want the business model to continue, then pay more k-pop stars or Taylor swift to wear them.
